Question

In what occupations did most Chinese immigrants work from the 1860s to 1890s? What was Chinese community life like in the cities, especially San Francisco?

Answer 1

Most Chinese Immigrants in the US at this time came over because of the gold rush. I would imagine they were treated poorly by the white people.

Answer 2

The majority of Chinese imigrants from this time moved to the U.S for possibly the Gold Rush, or to find a better life. For eternity white people always believe they were the best race (although the chinese were much smarter about their sitiuation and outworked most Americans), as a result all races were discriminated against jealous Whites
Hope this helps!
